Growing up in India, the most important conversations always happen in whispered tones behind closed doors. The moment you bring them into the living room, you get hit with the familiar script: we do not talk about that...
About this Podcast:
Not Allowed breaks down the conversations Indian women are discouraged from having - about desire, ambition, relationships, body image, and power. Through pop culture, Bollywood, and lived experience, we questions norms, call out hypocrisy, and say the quiet part out loud. Hosted by Janani, this is where unfiltered opinions, cultural side-eyes, and pop culture truths live. If you’ve ever thought “we’re not supposed to say this out loud” - you’re in the right place.
